After the successful implementation of a dashboard to track nullah-cleaning work last year, the BMC will start a similar dashboard this year as well. Nullah-cleaning is one of the most crucial monsoon preparation tasks in the city. While last year, pre-monsoon desilting work began in April, this time around, the BMC started it early to complete it before the May 31 deadline.
In 2022, the BMC also launched a dashboard to monitor the progress of nullah-cleaning following allegations that no work was being done. “There will be a dashboard this year too,” said P Velarasu, additional commissioner of the BMC. “Apart from a couple of work orders, all other work orders have already been issued and the preliminary work, like hiring machinery and manpower has been started by contractors. Desilting work will begin at a few locations from next week and it will gather momentum after March 15. We aim to start the dashboard by then,” said another official from the storm water department.
